My heart aches for your loss.<br /><br />A good friend told me once, Don't be sad that it's over, Be happy that it happened. And I love that sediment. I'm not sure it will bring you much comfort now. But do try and cherish all the joy and love she brought to you and your followers. We'll miss her terribly. We're better people for having had Lulu in our lives.<br /><br />If I could reach through the computer, I'd give you a big bear hug.
